26．—Excuse me, can you give me some water? The cup is empty.
—________
A．Go ahead. B．My pleasure C．At your service D．You’d better not.
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——打扰一下，能给我些水吗？杯子是空的。——愿意为您效劳。
考查情景交际。Go ahead开始；My pleasure我很荣幸；At your service愿意为您效劳； You’ d better not.你
最好不要。根据前文要求提供些水，结合选项可知此处应该说“愿意为您效劳”符合语境。故选C。
27．— Would you mind showing me the way to the nearest bookstore?

A．Sure B．Of course not C．Sorry D．Better not
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——你介意告诉我去最近书店的路吗？——当然不介意。那边有一个，就在大街上。
考查情景交际。Sure当然；Of course not当然不；Sorry抱歉；Better not最好不。根据“Would you mind
showing me the way to the nearest bookstore?”可知是一般疑问句，且“There is one over there, just on Main
Street.”可知此处指出了问题的答案，即“当然不介意”。故选B。

考查名词辨析。notice注意；attention注意力；care关心；sight视野。根据“some drivers don’t take any...of
speed limit”可知因为有些司机不注意速度限制，take notice of“注意”，为固定短语，故选A。

不及了，非常感谢。
考查代词辨析。none一个也没有（三者以上全部否定）；both两者都；all 全、都（三者以上肯定）；
either两者中的任一个。根据“The East Lake is not far from the Yellow Crane Tower”可知，东湖离黄鹤楼不
远；此处强调两个地方，而且两地离得不远，因此应是可以在一天内轻松地参观两个地方，表示两者都用
both，故选B。

A．/, speaking B．with, to speak C．/, to speak D．with, speaking

考查非谓语和介词。with和……一起；to朝，向；to speak讲，不定式形式；speaking讲，现在分词或动名
词形式；英语中动词不定式作后置定语时，如果被修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的地点、工具、对象等，
则不定式后面要带上与之搭配的介词，根据“I don't have a partner”可知，此处指的是“和某人练习”，应
用介词with；而第二空表达的是“练习做某事”，英语是practice doing sth，后跟动名词作宾语，故选D。
31．— What do you think of the movie tonight?
—The little actor's performance was very _______! It reminds me of my childhood.
A．lively B．famous C．living D．alive

考查副词辨析。exactly准确地，确切地；normally正常地；politely有礼貌地；usually通常地。根据后面“We are lucky, then we won't be worried about being late by air.”可知，我们很幸运，我们不用担心坐飞机迟
到，结合选项可知，空处是说机场运转“正常”，正常地normally。故选B。

—OK. What’s your e-mail address?
A．repeat B．raise C．review D．answer
【答案】A

A．give up B．put up C．take up D．end up

的。
考查动词短语。give up放弃；put up张贴；支起；take up开始做；占用；end up最终成为。根据“He is
such a careless driver. If he carries on driving like that...”可知他很粗心，如果粗心驾驶，最终会死。故选D。

A．clean B．cleaning C．cleaned D．to clean

【详解】句意：——爱丽丝，你的房间真的乱七八糟。它需要打扫。——对不起，妈妈。我马上就打扫。
考查非谓语动词。need作情态动词时，后接动词原形do；need作实义动词时，后接不定式to do（表主
动）或动名词doing（表被动）。根据“your room is really in a mess”可知，“It”指代“your room”，表示房
间需要被打扫，且needs是三单形式，属于实义动词，需用cleaning作宾语。故选B。
36．Both of his parents look sad. Maybe they ________ what’s happened to him.
A．knew B．have known C．had known D．will know
【答案】B
【详解】句意：他的父母看起来都很伤心。也许他们已经知道他出了什么事。
考查动词时态。knew是know的过去式；have known现在完成时；had known过去完成时；will know一般
将来时。根据语境“Both of his parents look sad”可知，这里强调过去发生的事情对现在造成的影响，应用现在完成时态。故选B。

A．is offered B．was offered
C．are offered D．had offered
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——今天的报纸上有一些新鲜事吗？——是的，一个有五千本书的图书馆昨天被作为礼物
赠送给希望学校。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。根据yesterday昨天，故用一般过去时，故排除AC；offer sb sth=offer sth to sb
提供某人某物；被动形式是sth be offered to sb；主语是a library与offer之间是被动关系，故排除D；故选
B。
38．I don’t know if he ______ to the English corner, but I’ll ask him about that when he ______ to the class.
A．goes, will come B．will go, will come
C．goes, comes D．will go, comes
【答案】D
【详解】句意：我不知道他是否将去参加英语角，但是当他来上课时，关于这件事我会问他。
第一空，if引导的宾语从句表示一般将来时，故用will go。第二空when引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时
表示一般将来时，故此处为comes,故选D。
39．— Why can't I park my bike here?
—Students are __________ to park along the sidewalk outside the school gate.
A．requested B．questioned C．imagined D．suggested
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——为什么我不能把自行车停在这里？——学生们被要求沿着校门外的人行道停车。
考查动词辨析。requested请求，要求；questioned提问，质询；imagined想象，设想；suggested建议，提
议。根据上文“Why can't I park my bike here?”和“to park along the sidewalk outside the school gate”可知要求
学生们沿着校门外的人行道停车，所以不能把车停在这里。故选A。
40．—Have you seen Jenny recently? I wonder ________.
—Well, not bad.
A．how she gets along with her stepbrother B．how’s it going with her stepbrother
C．if there’s something wrong with her D．what the matter is with her stepbrother
【答案】A【详解】句意：——你最近看见Jenny了吗? 我想知道她和她的同父异母的弟弟处得怎么样。——哦，还
不错。
考查宾语从句。宾语从句使用陈述句语序，因此可先排除B；选项D中的is应放在the matter之前，可排
除D；选项A询问的是她和她的同父异母弟弟处得怎么样；选项C询问的是她是否遇到问题了。根据答语
可知A选项符合语境，故选A。

Fossil of dinosaur killed in asteroid strike
Scientists have found the fossilized(化石的) leg of a dinosaur that they think was killed on the day of an
asteroid(小行星) hit that caused the dinosaurs’ death 66 million years ago. The fossilized leg was found at a site in
Tanis, North Dakota, in the US. It belonged to a kind of dinosaur called Thescelosaurus and was so well preserved
that scientists could see its skin.
Huge face seen in a cliff
Walkers on a coastal path in Cornwall, England, have reported seeing a huge human face looking out at sea
from the side of a cliff (悬崖). Although it looks like it’s been carefully carved from the cliff, it’s probably the result
of a recent rock fall. Louise Coe, whose husband noticed it, took some photos of the massive rock and described it
as a “bright sight”.

“No building comes without carvings (雕刻), and carvings make buildings more valuable,” goes an old saying
in Minnan (闽南), an area in southern Fujian Province. The saying refers to brick carvings, which were an
important feature of the old red brick buildings in the area.
The carvings were once commonly found on either side of the main entrance of Minnan’s buildings. However,
with development, the number of ancient red brick buildings has decreased, and Minnan’s brick carvings have
gradually faded from sight, said Wu Jiandong, a young master brick carver from Fujian’s Quanzhou City.
The 42-year-old has learned the traditional technique and now combines it with modern tastes to develop his
own style of brick carving. Wu said that he hoped to be able to help the traditional craft continue through
innovation.
“Market demands have changed in recent years, and so has our thinking, “Wu said. “We must add modern
elements to help pass down and develop traditional crafts.”
People in Minnan love tea, so Wu created a series of carved brick tea decorations, including tea plates, cup
holders, pot holders and other items, They have been warmly received by local people and foreign visitors.
Earlier this year, a pendant (挂件) decorated with a swallow, tail ridge (屋脊) and a bright moon was bought
by an overseas Chinese man from the Philippines. The customer told Wu that he would hang the pendant in his
office as a reminder of the architecture and the moon of his hometown.
Because of the market’s recognition of his work , Wu will be able to pass down the craft and further develop
his pieces, and the popularity of short videos has also given him new hopes of promoting (推广) Minnan brick
carvings.
The art form originated during the Song Dynasty and flourished (繁荣) during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It
is now an important part of national cultural heritage.
61．The writer’s purpose in mentioning the saying at the beginning is ________.
A．to introduce an area in southern Fujian Province B．to give advice on developing brick carvings
C．to show the importance of brick carvings in Minnan D．to attract more people to visit Minnan62．The underlined word “innovation” in the passage probably means ________.

C（武汉市武珞路中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期月考英语试题）
Travelling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your
mind to never again leave your house.
I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I’ve finished washing piles
of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the mess caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would
actually begin to miss the place we just left!
Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful.
And you remember only the wonderful—until you’re back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the
aisle（通道）seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.
Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain about—big hotel,
wonderful view.
And yet—we found things to complain about（抱怨）. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you
get to shower first? They call this coffee? Luckily, I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor （隐喻盔甲
外衣） o n as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.
For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored, until it was time to
catch a plane and fly home.
Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed
and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics and their crazy
good fortune to be swimming at 10: 30 on a school night.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it’s also a lot more. It’s
taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It’s
remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
66．The underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A．unknown B．uncertain C．unexpected D．unusual
67．According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that ________.
A．they both cause financial trouble and pain B．they are both hard as well as rewarding
C．both of them need many preparations D．chrildhood memories come flooding back when they travel
68．By saying “I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on”, the writer means that ________.A．she tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly
B．she turns those annoying complaints into a means of educating kids
C．she has improved her language skills when handling the complaints
D．she has succeeded in escaping kids’ fighting thanks to the armor
69．From the writer’s experience in the passage, we can NOT learn that ________.
A．family vacation benefits her kids as well as herself
B．joy and memories should be created rather than discovered
C．the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints
D．she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation
70．What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A．To describe an unforgettable travelling.
B．To tell people unexpected things always happen.
C．To complain about the annoying travelling experience.
D．To remind people joyful memories lie in where you make them.
【参考答案】
66．D 67．B 68．A 69．C 70．D
【语篇解读】
本文讲述了作者通过自己和家人的经历，告诉我们带着孩子去世界上的某些地方，让他们开阔视野，
快乐和回忆是最重要的。
【详情解析】
66．【D】词义猜测题。根据“I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and
I’ve finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the mess caused by the kids. ”可知，当
作者旅行回家，洗完行李里成堆的脏衣服，清理完孩子们造成的所有混乱，作者就会忘记这件事，所以作
者认为自己的这种能力是不同寻常的，uncanny和unusual同义，故选D。
67．【B】细节理解题。根据“Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful,
actually, but also wonderful. ”可知，作者认为家庭旅行就像生孩子。痛苦，吵闹，混乱，实际上有点可怕，
但也很美妙。所以B选项“它们既辛苦又有回报”符合，故选B。
68．【A】词句猜测题。根据“as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and
land in a pile at my feet.”可知，作者认为自己一旦降落在某个地方，它就会迫使抱怨从作者身上弹开，堆在
脚下。所以这句话意思是“她试图更明智、更恰当地处理这些抱怨”。故选A。
69．【C】细节理解题。根据“It’s taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and findingthat actually, yours need opening too. It’s remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where
you find them.”可知，作者认为家庭度假对她和她的孩子都有好处以及快乐和回忆应该是创造的，而不是发
现的；根据“I’ve finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the mess caused by the
kids”可知，全家度假后，她不得不花些时间做家务。选项C表述错误，故选C。
70．【D】推理判断题。根据“It’s remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where
you find them.”结合作者的经历可知，作者认为快乐和记忆是你创造它们的地方，而不是你找到它们的地方。
所以D选项“提醒人们快乐的记忆就在你制造它们的地方。”符合，故选D。

In 2007 Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world. He was just 23 years old
—and he built the plane himself.
How did the young man a 76 this?
A turning point h 77 when he was 15. Irving was working in his parents’ bookstore in Miami,
Florida. One of the c 78 was Gary Robinson, a professional pilot. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he
was interested in flying. Irving didn’t think he was smart e 79 . But the next day, the pilot took Irving to an
airport and showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That e 80 changed Irving’s life.
Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was e 81 . To reach his dream, he worked d 82
jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. He also helped at a store. At home, he p 83 his
flying skills on a video game. Finally, he earned enough money for flight school.
At flight school, Irving achieved his first dream—he learned how to fly. Next, he planned to build his own plane
and fly solo around the world. Building the plane was hard, Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts.
Most said no, but he worked hard and persisted in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth 300, 000 dollars.
Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his plane was ready to fly.
On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days—with 145 hours in the air—he l
84 back in Miami. A cheering crowd of people was there to welcome him.
Irving saw many people in the crowd, and this had a wonderful effect on him. Irving decided to start a program
called “Experience Aviation (航科)”, which helps young people achieve their career dreams in aviation and science.
“Everyone told me what I couldn’t do,” says Irving. “They said I was too young, that I didn’t have enough money,
experience, strength, or k 85 . But even if no one believes in your dream,” he says, “you have to go for
it.”

swimming pools. He also helped at a store.”可知，此处表示“不同的工作”，因此应用形容词different，修饰
jobs。故填(d)ifferent。

巧”。结合首字母p可知应考虑动词practice“练习”。文章时态是一般过去时，因此应用过去式。故填
(p)racticed。
84．句意：97天后，他降落在迈阿密，包括空中飞行145小时。根据上文可知，Irving是在进行环球飞行，
